ON WITH THE HOP......

The Blog Hop starts and finishes at the AnnaBelle Stamps Blog. If you arrived here from Andrea's Blog you're on the right track! When you leave me you hop over to Kylie's blog.  

I have a few things to share, starting with a Desk Calendar using 'Standing Tall', which is a 4" x 6" set . I've also used ABS Rose polka dot digital paper, from the Chilli Collection, with the matching satin ribbon and Sprinkles.  I should also say that I stamped the grass from an older ABS set 'Sentimental Bluebells'.

This calendar uses one of the plastic picture frames as it's base. I've used Prisma pencils to colour the image, popping up the centre petals and adding some Dimensional Magic  for shine.

Next I made a  card using 'Standing Tall'.  I picked two of the smallest images to create the floral strip on my water colouring card stock.  I've coloured this time with Inktense pencils that really give you such vibrant colours. For the centre of each of the flowers I added a tiny licorice Sprinkle.
The pretty gingham ribbon is ABS NEW  6mm Lollipop. I've also created a frame using Cuts By Design 002 shapes 1 and a small circle die.

Moving on to Designer Flower which is a 6" x 8" set with a great mix of images and sentiments.
The larger solid image reminded me of fireworks seen in the sky at just about every major celebration here in Australia. So with this in mind I made my first card.

I've played with Distress ink and PerlEx to get a pretty glittery background before double stamping the images, using black for the centres.  ABS turquoise satin ribbon was threaded through a Cuts By Design 002 Shapes 1 label and finished with four silver Sprinkles. 

My last card uses the smaller of the solid images plus two open images which I stamped in VersaMark ink.  Inks used here are VersaColor turquoise, lilac and topaz.  The gingham is more of ABS NEW  16mm in tangerine.  

Whew.......if you got to the end of this long post.......well done!  Now you can hop over to Kylie's lovely blog......Enjoy!
